CB Fry

You missed all those references to the League Cup as there"small fry" which several have said specificand disparaging remarks about winning it feeling "hollow" which one poster said specifically. So not twisted at all. Swansea won the League Cup and had a fine league finish so this idea that you cannot do both is nonsense.

You think we'd go down if we won the FA Cup? But if we don't go for the FA Cup we'll challenge top four. Okay then.

Except, of course, I've said none of that stuff. I will have a go at people on here deciding the League Cup is beneath us, and pretending that players don't join clubs for financial reasons. And if you can find a quote from me saying we need a top four sized squad, stick it up here. Or that how we treat our players families isn't important. You've got over a decade of forum posts from me to get through. Fill your boots. Lastly, interesting you are so happy about a Daily Mail article as there are plenty of moments when you have remorselessly slagged them off. Funny, huh?

How big was that lump of money that Everton got being they didn't actually qualify for the Champions League? By the way, great question on the League Cup. It would be so terrible to win it, wouldn't it? Simply awful.

Olalanna's red and white coloured specs. Players join other clubs for evil reasons like money and winning trophies (like, urgh) but they join Saints for magical reasons like team spirit, self development and living in Chilworth.

I think lots join for the pay packet, sweetheart. And I love your question belittling, again, the notion of winning stuff. Lots hope we win the FA Cup this season and see you try and shrug it off as unimportant and not what the players want to achieve.

Right so you are saying more players dream of joining a club who admit to not having the squad depth to compete in three competitions than dream of joining a club that wants to win a trophy? Sure they do.

Clubs like Liverpool, Chelsea,Arsenal, Spurs and Man United? Yeah players do dream of playing for those clubs. More than they dream of playing for provincial clubs who have won literally f uck all for thirty years and desperately pretending they are not small time by sneering at the League Cup.

I think the phrase "This is how it feels" fits the rhythm of the song called "This Is How It Feels".

Except it doesn't because the song is "This is how it feels", not "Oh Just so how does it feel" or whatever it is you said. Why on earth would anyone sing that? The whole thing remains a joke and without question the lowest we have sunk on "I erd this on Sky" hamfisted stealing of songs from bigger clubs. The dictionary definition of small-time.

Calm down, precious. I didn't quote you did I? This is me quoting you, now.

Quite. "Proven Premier league striker with experience" sounds like buying someone like Berbatov or Darren Bent. And if he means someone younger then who is there that is going to come to us?

Looks like it. Utterly anodyne Dubai Phil parodies will be stamped out without remorse.

Shearer was on a learning curve with Saints and wasn't prolific - he scored less than thirty goals in his time with us. So definitely not at his peak as a Saints player. Wouldn't make my team. I tend to agree with Window Cleaner that the current Saints team are easily the greatest players ever to play for Saints of all time. I mean, in the old days they never had blade boots or pasta or warm downs so obviously crap players. After all, how many Kenyans and French kids were in Lawrie's team of losers? Well then.

So you are theorising about a made up club that doesn't exist. Great. Useful. Especially as you've linked it to stating the bleedin' obvious. And you accuse me of arguing for the sake of it.

Why not throw in a 80,000 stadium and being current league champions into your list of what-iffery? There's nothing but cold dispassionate pragmatism in your scenario eh? But what if we were, like, AMAZING? Thank god you're not emotional.

They've bought him for the long term/not settled yet/you wait until next season FFS etc.

.....according to one boy on a message board. Tottenham finishing below us in one season doesn't stop them being Tottenham and far bigger than us.

Fear one man, nutjobs. One man. Paul Sturrock.

"Probably are slightly bigger" to quote fully. A few years back when they won the league cup I remember thinking what a small fry no-mark team they were going for tin pot trophies like that. It was then I knew how much bigger than them we are.

Isn't 7th at Christmas an improvement then? We were 17th or something last Christmas.

Stick to Groundhog Day.

Not creating much of a goal threat in one game and being described as "gutless up front" are two different things. Have to say I haven't seen or heard any saying anything remotely like we are gutless up front but obviously three people on one stream yesterday obviously did. Obviously.

OP: Out of interest, which commentators has said we are "gutless up front"? Just one or two of the "several" would be great.
